Problem addressed
The increasing use of Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) to reference all types of research results is a major step forward in meeting future requirements for the FAIRness of (research) data. However, this brings new challenges to process the PIDs, and to integrate them in research activities. The biggest difficulty is the multitude of systems used to create and maintain PIDs. The challenge is to know which system is responsible for the resolution process and which provides the PID metadata. The PIDMR will tackle this problem to simplify PID resolution through a uniform interface.
